Premier League rivals close in on Liverpool target Andre
Following Fluminense’s triumphant Copa Libertadores campaign recently, the stock for Liverpool transfer target Andre Trindade has gone soaring high. The scope for other clubs signing him over the Reds has also increased significantly, as our league rivals accelerate their interest in the 22-year-old.
A crucial part of his club’s successful continental season this term, Andre turned down an opportunity to move to Liverpool in the summer window earlier this season. But as we approach the January transfer window, we again see ourselves linked with a move for the Brazilian international.
We currently have Wataru Endo who could put in more than a shift in the middle of the park. However, Jurgen Klopp, in his idea to induce more creativity to the Reds’ lineup has featured Alexis Mac Allister in that #6 role which is not his natural position. Even with that drawback, Macca has been doing decently well, but we could surely improve.
Arsenal and Fulham, alongside Liverpool, are continuing to show interest in securing the services of Andre. That is via Globo. With the growing interest from competitors, it is important for Jurgen Klopp’s side to show urgency in signing the player if the interest is genuine.
Andre to the Reds?
While he would surely be a great addition to the side, we could also look towards other options, particularly in Europe. We have seen in the past that making the transition from South American football to the Premier League is not the easiest of tasks. And that too, in a position as delicate as that of a defensive midfielder.
There certainly are a number of other options that the Reds could explore. A specialist defensive midfielder could help the Reds more than someone like Andre. Judging purely from the Copa Libertadores final against Boca Juniors, Andre came off as a player who could excel in a box-to-box role.
As already mentioned, it is important to note that Liverpool’s interest in Andre does not exist in a vacuum. The club understands the intricacies of transitioning from South American to European football. It’s a challenging process that often requires time for players to adapt fully.
